Book Blurb: Darkness
comes as a new power rises in Angrääl. The Dark Knight has betrayed the Gods
and stolen The Sword of Truth, trapping them in heaven. With the power of the
Sword he can reshape the world and bring death to all who oppose him. Only one
thing stands between the darkness and the light. Gewey Stedding. Only he has
the power to stand against the oncoming storm. Only he can mend the world. But
only if he can discover his power....
Let
me first say this: I normally don’t read
a lot of books in the Fantasy genre, but occasionally I will find one that
grabs hold of me and pulls me into its world.
The Godling Chronicles, written by Brian D. Anderson and Jonathan
Anderson, is one of those books that you can’t help but fall into, forgetting
where you are and what you were doing. You
can’t help but lose yourself within the pages of this book.
The
story begins by introducing us to Gewey, a seventeen year old farmer, living in
a place called Sharpstone, who is trying to maintain his father’s farm after
his death a couple of years before. He
is a very strong young man, both physically and emotionally, which is a
necessity for the coming adventure. He
is given a letter by a fellow inhabitant of Sharpstone named Lee
Starfinder. This letter unravels
everything that Gewey ever believed, including who his true parents are.
Gewey
is no ordinary teenager. In fact, he is
one of a kind. Gewey’s birth parents are
both Gods, something that has never happened before in their world. Lee, a half-God himself, was once good
friends Gewey’s adopted father. Lee is
the one who informs Gewey that his life is now in danger because the Dark
Knight has found out about his existence and will stop at nothing to rid the
world of the one man (Gewey) who could stop him from taking over the world.
Gewey
and Lee begin their journey to safety and on the way they meet a band of
characters, including an elf and an evil high priestess, who all play a major
part in Gewey making it through his journey.
I won’t say anything else at this point, because really, you need to
read this book in order to truly enjoy the path that Gewey and his friends
take, and the obstacles that they all overcome.
The
Godling Chronicles is a great book for those that love Fantasy books, but even
if you’re like me and not a huge fan, you will still find something within
these pages that will suck you in. I
thoroughly enjoyed the book and I would love to read the next book in the
series. To Brian and Jonathan Anderson,
congrats! This is a unique and exhilarating
book and I have to say that I am greatly impressed.
